Highway 40 near Auburn, east of Sacramento c48:



Highway 40 at Gold Run, halfway to Reno, c48. You can see where the hillside in the distance was washed away by hydraulic mining in the Gold Rush era. They built the road along the base of the hill. Still looks like that except freeway now:



Climbing up toward the Donner Summit (behind the photographer) from Sacramento on Highway 40, early 50s:

That's just classic! Black CA plates too. Wish I could read the dealer frame. Looks like dog-dish caps. I'd say that is somewhere along the California coast, perhaps near Santa Cruz or San Francisco.

Great shots Bill! I'm amazed at the amount of foreign cars in that Hollywood Freeway shot. Back on the east coast the foreign cars were few and far between back then.

That is a '68 Chevelle SS396 wheelcover. Body color wheels would indicate a dog-dish cap was there originally but perhaps the owner added the '68 Chevelle covers or maybe the dealer had them and put them on the car for a little pizzaz to help sell the car.
